Sloop vs. Fractional Sloop vs. Cutter

Thanks Jeff for the reply! It appears there is more work than reasonable to convert. It would be better to just buy a vessel already set up for Frac''l rig. I have a tall rig (57'' mast) but its obviously the wrong style. I have double spreaders, with the shrouds directly p/s. I have cosidered a longer boom for more main sail but don''t know how that would affect the helm.
